Jizhou is the richest and most populous state in Hebei, which can be said to be the essence of Hebei. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The potter's Northern Expedition this time, Jizhou into the territory, in fact, has achieved the strategic goal, not to mention that an additional Qingzhou has been obtained, and the harvest is already very rich.

I think that in the past history, it took Cao Cao nearly eight years to destroy the Yuan clan and completely seize the land of the four states of Hebei, and now it only took him a year and a half to take the two states of Jiqing and Qingdao, which is already quite good.

The potter knew that he could not be too arrogant and was in a hurry, so he went south and led the army back to Yecheng.

The news of the retreat of the Liang army was soon sent by the scouts to the north bank of Yishui and to the capital of Yijing.

At this time, Liu Bei was standing at the head of the south gate of Yijing, staring at the south with cold eyes, anxiously waiting for news in his heart.

Although he had Kong Ming's help, after all, he was hurt too deeply by the potter, and he was infected with "pottery phobia" in his heart.

The news of Liang's retreat to the south was delivered in time, and finally Liu Bei breathed a long sigh of relief, and the whole person was relieved, unprecedented relief.

"Mr. Kong Ming, your trick of digging up easy water is really wonderful, the pottery thief finally withdrew in disgrace, and he didn't dare to come to attack my Youzhou." Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang happily, his eyes full of trust and gratitude.

Zhuge Liang only shook the feather fan lightly, smiled lightly, and was strategic, and became a bamboo.

"Although this plan forced the pottery thief back, this water is ruthless, but it will also affect tens of thousands of people on the south bank of Yishui, after all, it is a bit of a pity......" Frustrated but coldly sighed.

This sigh immediately shocked Liu Bei's body, his eyes quietly turned, and the smug joy on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a sad and self-reproachful expression.

"The public and his words are reasonable, in order to stop the pottery thief, he has to harm so many innocent people, he is really uneasy in conscience, and his heart is painful at this moment...... Liu Bei beat his chest and blamed himself deeply, and after only a few words, tears of sadness were soaked in his eyes.

Immediately afterward, his body shook again, as if he was overly sad and about to faint.

The two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei next to the "big brother ......" were startled, and hurriedly pounced on them and helped the swaying Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang sighed lightly, and explained from the side: "The lord should not blame himself too much, this move is also a last resort, if the army of pottery thieves has killed Yishui, you don't know how many Li people will be poisoned by it, sacrifice a small number of people, and save the lives of the people of Yizhou, this is the great righteousness, in exchange for any benevolent and righteous sage, will do this, think of those sacrificed people, their spirits in the sky, can also understand the righteousness of the lord." ”

After these words, Liu Bei's expression of self-reproach calmed down slightly, and he choked up while raising his sleeves while wiping away the tears in his eyes.

After a while, Liu Bei stopped sobbing, but sighed again: "Preparing for the life of the people of a state, I really feel the weight of the burden on my shoulders, and I must do my best to protect Youzhou, but although the pottery thief retreats this time, he will definitely commit it again in the future, and the other current strength, I am afraid that with the strength of my state, I may not be able to compete with it." ”

"The lord is relaxed, Liang has prepared a clever plan for the lord." Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan gently, and his jade-like handsome face was full of innate confidence.

……

Xuzhou, east of Haixi City.

On the coast, seventy or eighty warships have slowly left the port, and on top of the sea camp, there are still thousands of soldiers, who are hurrying to climb up to the remaining dozens of ships.

These Jiangdong soldiers are all demoralized, and the banners with the word "Zhou" are all broken and not lost.

The mood of defeat and despair enveloped the entire camp.

On the trestle, Zhou Yu stood on his horse and held his sword, his crystal transparent eyes stared at the direction of the west, his beautiful face twitched slightly from time to time, and he had a look of hidden hatred and unwillingness.

"Le Yi, who are you sacred, you have the strength to defeat me Zhou Yu, but you are willing to be the disciple of the pottery thief......" Zhou Yu gritted his teeth secretly, and his eyes burned with deep confusion.

Just a few months ago, he, the Jiangdong Mei Zhoulang, led 10,000 elite Jiangdong troops to make a long-distance attack by sea, unexpectedly captured Haixi City, and landed in Xuzhou.

At this time, the potters have gathered the main force in Hebei, Xu Yang line only Xu Sheng's 10,000 soldiers and horses, stationed in the south of the Shouchun line, Xuzhou can be said to be empty, only a few thousand county soldiers.

Zhou Yu, who landed and attacked, can be said to be like entering a no-man's land, with an army of 10,000 invincible all the way, and in less than half a month, the East China Sea Kingdom was almost captured by him.

Zhou Yu, who was full of ambition, did not stop for a moment, and the soldiers pointed directly at Picheng under the rule of Xuzhou Prefecture.

At that time, there were less than 1,000 county soldiers with low combat effectiveness in Xiapi City, and Zhou Yu was absolutely confident that he could capture them in less than two days.

As long as Xiapi falls, the entire Xuzhou counties will fall to the wind, and the 10,000 Liang troops in Shouchun in the south will be in turmoil.

At that time, he waved his army south, and with Sun Ce's main army, he would definitely be able to capture Shouchun and Huainan in one fell swoop.

At that time, Xu Yang Erzhou will be under the command of the Sun family.

Zhou Yu had such a grand plan in mind, and confidently rushed to the city of Pi, and ordered the siege without hesitation.

However, what annoyed him was that the Xuzhou assassin named Fan Sui sent by the pottery merchant was extremely capable, and he mobilized thousands of people Ding Zhuang to enter the city in a short period of time, and he actually held on to Xiapi for ten days, until the Liang general named Le Yi led 10,000 reinforcements to arrive.

Koto Mishuro's nightmare begins.

This Le Yi's ability to command the army is strong, and the strength of the army is completely beyond Zhou Yu's imagination, and he defeated him one after another within a few months, forcing him to spit out all the cities he had captured, until he was forced back to Haixi City.

After tossing for a few months, Zhou Yu returned to the original point, and his clever plan to seize Xuzhou at sea came to naught.

Zhou Yu was unwilling in his heart, unwilling to be the first wise general in Jiangdong, but he was completely defeated by a disciple who pretended to be an ancient.

Zhou Yu couldn't understand that with such an amazing talent as Le Yi, he should have emerged a long time ago, how could he be willing to be a small martial artist in the martial arts hall for so many years.

His outlook on life and values were completely disrupted by the appearance of Le Yi.

"Newspaper-" A horse galloped over, it was to force Dong to attack, "Yu Du Du, Hebei Xizuo has just sent an urgent report, the pottery thief has captured the entire territory of Jizhou a few days ago, Yuan Shao was captured by him, and the pottery thief has led a large army to return south. ”

Zhou Yu's already gloomy face was stunned in an instant, he was silent for a long time, his expression changed and flipped, and the whole person was immersed in shock, unable to extricate himself for a long time.

"This pottery thief actually took only a year and a half to capture Jiqing Erzhou and capture Yuan Shao alive? How is this possible, how is it possible......"

Zhou Yu, who was muttering to himself, was not only ugly, but even quietly burned with a trace of shame in his eyes.

It's as if a miracle that even a genius can't do was done by a mediocre person, making him feel deeply humiliated.

"Governor, this pottery thief is really an outlier, now he has gone south, and Le Yi's army is also killing Haixi, without further ado, please hurry up and get on the boat, let's withdraw to Jiangdong as soon as possible." Dong Xi sighed and persuaded.

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth secretly, his eyes looked at the west, unwilling for a long time, and hated for a long time, but in the end he could only sigh and ride his horse on the warship.

The warship slowly sailed out of the water camp and headed south.

"Potter, one day, I, Zhou Yu, will come back, you wait......"

……

Yizhou, Baishuiguan.

Above the city, the battle flag of the Shu army fluttered like the wind, and the soldiers were all high-spirited.

In the north of the city, the camp of the Cao army, which stretched for several miles, was silent, and the Cao soldiers were all mentally exhausted and demoralized.

It has been two full months since Cao Cao conquered Hanzhong Yuwei and attacked Shu in a big way.

In the past two months, Cao Cao launched several attacks on Baishui Pass, but they were all defeated by the Shu army, losing thousands of soldiers and horses.

The frontal attack was not down, and Cao Cao sent the general Xiahou Yuan to divide more than 10,000 troops to attack Sanba, but Liu Zhang's general Zhang Ren refused to retreat, and finally returned in vain.

After repeated defeats, Cao Cao's original hope for a quick battle has gradually evolved into a fierce battle.

Cao Ying, the big tent of the Chinese army.

"You and others all say that Liu Zhang is weak, the Shu soldiers are not disciplined, and the combat effectiveness is low, and the battle in front of you seems to be inconsistent with what you say, this Liu Zhang is not a mediocre master." Cao Cao, who was at the top, said with a frown.

"Jia also felt very strange, according to Chengdu's detailed secret report, a few months ago, that Liu Zhang suddenly seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person, and he acted decisively and resolutely, and successively disposed of several disobedient ministers by thunderbolt means, and reused Zhang Ren, Huang Quan, Fa Zheng, Zhao Lei, Yan Yan and other talented and martial artists, day and night to train and prepare for war, within a few months, it made the weather in Shu new, and the combat effectiveness of the Shu army was greatly improved in a short period of time, so our army will be seriously hindered in Shu."

Guo Jia's words, everyone who listened to them were amazed.

Cao Cao was also greatly surprised, and muttered: "Could it be that this Liu Zhang was just pretending to be weak and incompetent before, deliberately showing weakness to the outside world, but in fact, he is also a powerful character......

The Cao camp was civil and military, and there was a lot of discussion.

At this time, Cao Zhen hurriedly entered and arched his hand: "Uncle Yu, Hebei urgently reported that the pottery thief has taken Jizhou a few days ago, and Yuan Shao has been captured alive by the pottery thief." ”

In the big tent, there was an instant uproar.

From Cao Cao to Guo Jia and other military generals, all of them changed color.

"Yuan Benchu, did he perish so quickly, this potter thief, it's really ......" Cao Cao looked at the silk book in his hand and was shocked, his mouth was amazed, and his scorched face was difficult to hide the word shock.
